Basic methods of molecular biology (extraction and purification of DNA, enzymatic reactions, gel electrophoresis) a bioinformatics (manipulating sequence data and pimer design). - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 24 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/24, only registered: 0/24 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Molecular Biology and Genetics (programme PřF, N-EXB)
- Molecular Biology and Genetics (programme PřF, N-MBG)
- Course objectives
- At the end of this course, students should be able to perform methods of DNA cloning, choose suitable vectors and restriction endonucleases for DNA cloning, preparation of molecular probes, design primers and use polymerase chain reaction for modification of DNA ends, prepare DNA samples for sequencing, edit and silence genes in vivo using CRISPR/Cas9.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of this course, students should be able to perform methods of DNA cloning, choose suitable vectors and restriction endonucleases for DNA cloning, preparation of molecular probes, design primers and use polymerase chain reaction for modification of DNA ends and prepare DNA samples for sequencing.
- Syllabus
- 1. Cloning of endolysin gene in pUC and pET plasmid vectors (modification of DNA ends by PCR, cloning of PCR products, dephosphorylation of DNA ends by alkaline phosphatase, ligation of vector and foreign DNA by T4 DNA ligase, transformation of competent cells, identification of recombinant clones on ampicillin plates, restriction analysis and construction of restriction maps of recombinant plasmids).
- 2. Silencing of septum-coding genes using CRISPR/Cas9 in Escherichia coli. Design of guide RNA for CRISPR editing. Manipulation with dCas9 plasmid. Cassette exchange of insert. Transformation of the cells. Evaluation of the results by light microscopy.
- 3. Construction of protein probe for pathogen identification and antimicrobial protein with extended host-range. CRISPR/Cas9 editing of virus particles. Expression and purification of protein using affinity chromatography. Evaluation of the results by multi-spectrometer and chloroform assay.
- 4. Antibiotic resistance gene knock-out in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using transposon mutagenesis. Electroporation of foreign DNA. Preparation of competent cells. Mutation screening.
